Ok so my roommate just told me about this bad beat he took...Now granted I do not know the whole deal but he lost over 200 on this hand...He is dealt AA in a dollar 2 dollar game. He raises it preflop 20 bucks and gets one caller. Flop comes K A K..So he just boated right. bets 50 and gets the guy calls. Next card is a 6. No big deal right. He decides to finish the hand so he goes all in which is immediately called. What does the guy turn over yup...pocket 6s. Still no big deal since only one card can beat him. O wait guess what came on the river...Thats right...the dude caught runner runner 6s to catch quads. Now if you can beat that story go ahead and try. I think that is some sick proof that the internet is not a fair game.

I think that is some sick proof that the internet is not a fair gameNo offense but you have no proof of online poker being rigged so that statement is useless. As for the bad beat I had this happen to me in a home game about 3 years ago so details are a little fuzzy.Two people limped in and I was in the small blind and get A 2 suited so I complete and the bb checked. The flop came 3 4 5 all of my suit so I flopped a straight flush and decide to slow play. That didn't work the BB bet half his stack and I raised all in he called and showed 6 7 of that suit, so that sucked.

That's not proof, people lose to runner runner in live games all the time. Granted, it was a very bad beat, I'm not disputing that, but if you're saying that's proof that online poker is rigged, that's ridiculous

Happened to me in a live game at a casino (limit)Capped preflop with 3 players, I have KKFlop comes KJJ, capped on flop, still have 3 playersTurn deuce, capped betting againRiver deuce, capped betting.I show my KK for kings full of jacks. Next player flashes KJ and mucks his jacks full. Fish shows 22 for runner runner quads.It happens, It happens on line, it happens in RL. Stupid people do stupid things and occasionaly they get lucky.Tonight in an online game I have Ax suited, flop king high one of my suit. A player makes a tiny bet into a big pot, and I make a decent raise, thinking he's on a bluff and I can take it down. He calls me, ooooops.Turn comes deuce of my suit giving me the nut flush draw, he bets out and I call. River makes my flush, he bets and I bust him. He flopped top pair with a decent kicker but didn't protect his hand. Had he made a real bet on the flop I would have ditched my hand and we'd be on to the next deal.So instead of learning from his mistake he goes on a 10 minute rant about how online poker is rigged, goes on full scale tilt losing 2 more buy ins, and finaly leaves swearing never to come back.

Funny. Yup, that is probably the worst I have ever heard of.It wasn't really a bad beat because my hand was weak but:I decided to show my girlfriend how to play texas, and guess which hand she gets after about half an hour. Royal Flush o' Natural. Yup. no wild cards, and she got the royal of hearts. Never seen one in my entire life.

I flopped a straight flush wheel in a 3/6 game once, with 8 people in the hand. It was capped to me every round. Aces up, a set, a straight, and the nut flush (other than mine) were all out there.

Had pocket 10s in a live NL home game. 2 players to the flop.10d-2d-10c on the flop. I make quads. I slowplay it. He bets, I call.7d on the turn. He bets. I'm thinking excellent, he hit his flush. I reraise. He pushes all in. I callHe's got Jd-9dGuess what the river card was... 8dThat was a fun $80 loss to runner runner straight flush

I think the beat I took at Foxwoods was worse than the one in the original post, only because the deliverer of the bad beat in that post at least saw that he had a full house on the turn before calling the all-in. His call was poor, but he didn't put ALL his chips in the middle until the 6 hit.In my hand, I had A 3 in the big blind and flopped A A 3. One bettor raised back and forth with me after the flop until I was all-in. Apparently he didn't believe I had an ace, even amid all the raising, because he flipped over pocket 8s. Turn 8. River 8. What makes this beat worse is that HE put ME all-in before he had a chance to see whether he would hit his set.It is technically impossible to deliver a worse beat on someone post-flop than needing two perfect runners and catching them both, and it makes for an especially bad beat when they push into a dangerous flop without catching a piece of it.
